Bethany Cemetery
The General Joseph Wheeler camp adopted to take care of and maintain flags at Bethany Cemetery in Aiken, South Carolina. Within the gates of the cemetery lies around 60 confederate soldiers who fought for their homeland, their families, and their beliefs. It is our privilage to take care of the graves of these men who fought for the confederacy. (Pictures will be added at a later date.)
Aiken County Confederate Memorial Day Service
The General Joe Wheeler Camp started our Memorial Day Service at the Confederate Memorial in downtown Aiken, South Carolina. We held it there for years until our camp decided we should hold the service where our soldiers lay instead of a marble and stone memorial in the middle of town. So we moved to Bethany Cemetery in Aiken, S.C.. We already place flags and tend to the graves of the Confederate Soldiers that lay there so it made for a perfect location to honor these brave soldiers.
